Dear Ex-wife Marry Me

Chapter 224

lari didn’t look at the orange. He just felt his heart beating irregularly. He frowned, trying to ignore the

feeling

“Just leave if there”

Maja thought lan didn’t like the orange, but he didn’t throw it away due to his good manners. After all, it

was a gift from someone, so he kept it

there.

So, she put the orange back where it was and sat back in her seat.

The subtle tension filled the silence like a lingering fragrance.

lan looked down at his documents, but his peripheral vision stayed on the side of his leg. There was a

sensation there as if the heat was still lingering

Seeing him engrossed in his documents, Maja dared not disturb him and silently arrived at their

destination

Bob stepped out of the car, first thanking lan, then pointed to a villa in the distance.

“That’s where you’ll find who you’re looking for. We can take Mr. Raymond there for a look-see. I’ve

done the bit Daly asked me to, now off you go.” Maja turned to thank lan, then Mr. James, before

heading toward the villa

But she’d only taken a few steps when she heard lan’s voice:

“If they give you the cold shoulder, drop my name.”

Maja was taken aback. Was Mr. Felton chummy with lan?

if that was the case, things just got a whole lot easier

A smile spread across her face, her eyes sparkling.

“Mr. Raymond, cheers.”

The midday sun was blazing, glaring off her and making lan squint.

He looked away, continuing his chat with the leaders nearby.

Maja arrived at the villa and rang the bell.

The villa was designed in a European style, even with the door half open, you could see the garden

inside.

The owner sure had good taste.

Soon, a servant-like figure emerged. When he saw her, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

“Can I help you?”

“Hello, I’m here to see Mr. Felton. I heard he’s home today, just dropping by for a visit.”

The servant hesitated for a few seconds before opening the door.

“Mr. Felton is indeed home today but doesn’t usually entertain uninvited guests. Come in; I’ll put in a

word for you. Let’s see if he’ll see you.” Maja was attractive and charming, so the servant was willing to

let her in

Once inside, Maja could tell at a glance that the garden was intricately designed, blending the usual

European elements with unique touches. Being the only student of the famous painter Herbert, Maja

had a bit of insight into this area

The double doors opened, and she saw a painting in the middle, a work by Herbert

It was a replica, as the original had become a national treasure and was in the museum, unattainable

no matter how rich you were. So many people had approached Herbert, hoping he could recreate it

Herbert’s reputation in the painting world made this replica highly sought after

But the money was ultimately donated by Herbert to a certain place. As to where exactly, Maja didn’t

delve into it. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Herbert had only ever recreated this one painting, and it was a surprise to find it in Mr. Felton’s home.

Maja had an idea, she looked up and saw a man in his fifties sitting in the room.

“Mr. Felton, I didn’t expect you to be a fan of Herbert’s work.”

Felton was somewhat surprised. After all, many masters in the country replicated this painting, Mystical

Landscapes. How did this young girl recognize it as Herbert’s work at first glance?

There was no signature of Herbert on the painting. After all, Herbert was a free spirit and rarely

bothered about such things.

“How did you know?”

Initially, when he heard a visitor was coming, he thought it was a young man. He didn’t expect it to be a

young woman.

“Herbert was my teacher. I was fortunate to study under him for a while.”

Herbert was quite peculiar and seldom taught students. He indeed had a student before but didn’t want

to disclose the student’s name.

Now seeing Maja, Felton was surprised. This twenty-something young woman was Herbert’s last

student?”

“When my teacher was recreating this painting, he studied its style for a long time. You live here most

of the time and seldom go out, so it’s not surprising you like it. This place is undeveloped, and it has the

characteristics of the style of this painting.”

Hearing this, Felton smiled and gestured to the seat opposite him.

*Please sit. Are you here about the cherry wood flooring issue?”

Maja nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed, “I didn’t want to be turned away earlier, so I dropped my

teacher’s name. I hope you don’t mind.”

Her attitude was very straightforward, and her eyes were crystal clear.

Felton sighed; she was around the same age as his daughter.
